I have new points and condenser on order, and am looking for a replacement for the internal distributor wire. (Mine is losing its insullation.)
The starting circuit is as original, except the wire that formerly ran to the neutral safety switch now runs directly to the accelerator vacuum switch. I made that change after reviewing the wiring diagram.
